Back Cover Information

Explore the exciting possibilities of combining feltmaking techniques with machine stitching and water-soluble stabiliser to create 29 stunning garments and accessories. The techniques are simple, and clear step-by-step photographs show all the techniques you need to create these unique designs.

Author Jeannette  KnakeFrom the Author

Crazy wool is all about sewing using wool and special-effect yarns. The technique is based on the "Crazy Patch" technique, but has been developed further. Crazy Wool is all about individual design, variety and attractiveness. The fact that there is no need for hemming and facing makes this technique particularly attractive. This method, with its novel combination of spray adhesive and water-soluble stabiliser, guarantees that by following the instructions, the adhesive and any stabiliser residue can be removed without trace.

With Crazy Wool, you can create the right feel-good fashions for every season and design trendy accessories, such as scarves and bags. Anyone can follow this introduction to sewing using simple shapes and easy lockstitch seams.

Good luck and have fun with this striking fashion for any occasion.
